Start with a model with pale eyes for most dramatic effect

Start with a model with pale eyes for most dramatic effect. Isolate the eyes by setting a black background layer, adding a mask to your model layer, then erasing and obscuring other facial features. This is achieved through simple adjustment layers and masks.

Apply a Black & White layer, tweak settings to give skin a burnt effect, setting an 80% Multiply blending mode. Tweak skin colour and saturation with Hue/Saturation. Now mask away Black & White effects from almost all of the eye, except the edges of the iris.
